Enrique Hernandez reportedly deciding among four MLB teams
Enrique Hernandez has narrowed it down to a final four.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported Saturday that the veteran utilityman is choosing among four finalists to sign with in free agency. They are the Los Angeles Angels, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants and Minnesota Twins.
Hernandez, 32, was a World Series champion with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020 and then returned for a second stint with them at last year’s trade deadline.
He hit .237 overall last season with 11 home runs and 61 RBI in 140 total games. Hernandez also has experience at seven positions in the field but mainly operates as a center fielder and/or middle infielder.
The righty-hitting Hernandez would be a strong addition for any of those four teams, especially with his clutch hitting and overall elite vibes.
As for a potential favorite of the four, it may be this one that Hernandez has been linked to for over a month now.

Free agent utilityman Enrique Hernández is expected to sign within the next two to three days, reports Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. It isn’t clear how many teams remain in the market.
Hernández has drawn reported interest from the Angels this winter. The Halos are presumably one of multiple teams that has touched base with his camp. The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal wrote last month that the Angels felt Hernández might prefer to stick with the Dodgers after finishing last season in L.A., although it’s unclear if the Dodgers have made any effort to bring him back.
